No point in saying humble! <br />As for the grey cardigan, I adore it but am not skilled enough to attempt it. But do have a solution if it is not heresy for the dropping shoulders. Find the finest, narrowest grosgrain ribbon, grey if you must but lavender or turquoise would be stunning and carefully attach along the seam with fine silk thread, Britex Fabrics online store could help with both, now I’m thinking about it they have amazing silk cording in smoky colors. And down the rabbit hole I go... This may all be heresy but I’m never opposed to a bit of mixed media. Just my thoughts. <br />Never heard of Japanese Short Rows so now I’m in trouble.

Can be worn next to skin - so soft! You can tell I am in love.
